Hello everyone - I hope you're having a splendid summer whether you were away in parts foreign or simply down on the Gower - please let me have a photo or two and a paragraph from your exploits!

Monster Summer Party - multiple birthdays - Sat 14th September

Elaine Hall, Sue Goodhead, John Lister, Dave Dobson, Allan Richardson, Tim and Andrea Lewingdon all have significant birthdays this year, and they would jointly like to invite you to an SWCC mega-party!

The plot so far is:
Roast Pig: Organised by Chris Grimmett
Music: A Folk/Traditional/Shanty group called Vagrants Crew organised by Gary Jones
Beer: Organised by our chief Cellarman, Chris Grimmett, et al
Fireworks: Courtesy of Pete Dobson

Allan would like to have an idea of numbers so please email him if you are thinking of coming.

Hidden Earth ~ helpers needed!

Hidden Earth caver's fair is 27- 29th September this year and is on our doorstep in Monmouth.

Antonia Freem is bravely masterminding it this year but she needs a load of support in order to make it the sucess it has been in previous years.

Please email her if you can help, and with enough supporters a shift system can be worked out so that everyone can get to the lectures they want.

Please send her any recent expedition or local pictures (hi res) that would make our stand "stand out"

Shrophire Mines - september - postponed ~ from Piers Hallihan

Hi all, the SWCC calendar has become a bit congested in September and the planned Shropshire mines trip now falls in between a big party weekend and Hidden Earth. Rather than try and run an under-subscribed trip, I’m going to cancel it for now and try and organise something either later in the year or in the early part of 2014.

Elsie Little's Ashes ~ photo by Ian Alderman

Earlier last month, Elsie's ashes were scattered at the bottom of the SWCC gardens, as was her wish. Also added to the spot were some of her late husband Bill's ashes. More photos to come.

Members on the move

Chas Jay has moved house: "Just a brief noto to let you know that we have sold our house in Worcester (at last but with regrets) and are now occupying a (rather small) temporary house in Chelmsford (address:- 44 Barn Green Chelmsford CM1 6UG) while we look for a more permanent residence."

Pete and Carol Hall have a new email address: They would like friends to mail them on mail@petecarol75.plus.com so that they don't lose your contact details.
